Help..I'm Drowning!!

Karen, I would be nowhere without people like you. I am humbled by your honesty and courage and I offer you my unconditional support as you move forward in your commitment to healing and health. God, none of it is easy. Take care of yourself and stay close. Imagine you are running a marathon and we are all there, lining the streets that your feet pound, one in front of the other...hear us cheering you onward - and when you have to stop, we're still cheering until you can move again, one foot in front of the other. God bless. Love, Reenie

Reenie, You are AWESOME!! What a great analogy to contemplate when I get down and need to get over the finish line! It's people like you who will make the difference in my life! I have read all the articles you have written in OH and many of your posts and feel blessed to have you in my corner! So far, I am doing okay. I had a relapse one day over the holidays but went straight to AA the next day and have been okay since... There will be no more relapses. It convi nced me of what I already really knew..I just CAN'T have even one. The pain and depression and guilt when I wake up the next day are unbearable not to mention the pain I may have caused others. Why is this happening to me?? Thanks again for your kind words and great support. Hugs, Karen

Happy New Year! I hope that this year will be a good one for you, and for us all. Keep posting. By the way, I have relatives named Showalter. My mother grew up in Virginia. She was Ruby St. Clair. Her older sister married a Bill Showalter. (Bill would have been born over a hundred years ago). I think these Showalters moved to Florida. Are we cousins? Joy

Hey Karen, Just wanted you to know that I've been thinking about you and hope that all is well. Happy New Year. Hugs, Connie
